[PATCH] mm: reduce spinlock contention in release_pages()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When several tasks are terminated simultaneously, lots of pages will be
released, which can cause severe spinlock contention. Other tasks which
are running on the same core will be seriously affected. We can yield
cpu to fix this problem.
